They study mercury with high powered satellites from outer space. Of course if they got to close to it where it is so close to the sun it would fry in an instant. The closest planet they have been to the sun is venus and that satellite burnt up from venus's hot atmosphere. Anything closer than that would vaporize. The only planet or considered planetoid we have not taken a look at is Pluto where it is so far away and it is so small.

Scientists study Mercury using a combination of space probes, telescopes, and computer simulations. Space probes like NASA's MESSENGER have provided close-up images and data on Mercury's surface, composition, and magnetic field. Telescopes from Earth and in space also help scientists observe Mercury's transit across the Sun and gather information about its atmosphere and temperature. Computer simulations assist in modeling the planet's internal structure and evolution.
